{{{

Is that the paragraph you're talking about? "By default"? And anyway,
even if you were right...
R2126 and R2156 conflict with each other. They don't conflict with R754.
All it implies here is that "voting limit" refers to the same thing in
each rule, which I don't believe is a statement that either of us have
disputed yet. However, neither rule defines "voting limit"; the
highest-powered definition of "voting limit" in the rules is in fact
R683 (which beats R754 if we're playing the numbers game):
{{{
The voting limit of an
entity that is not an eligible voter on an Agoran decision is
zero. The voting limit of an eligible voter on an Agoran
decision is one, except where rules say otherwise.
}}}
R2126 and R2156 both say otherwise, so both affect this.
Next!
